Best Matchup this week

[bksballer89]

I'm going with Bengals @ Steelers. Just suck that Burfict is out. These teams really despise each other.

Im loving that Buccs @ Cards game.....I have this crazy hunch that the Buccs put the league on notice, and panic starts setting in, in Arizona

Giants/Saints has the potential to be the most fun.....This game ended like 52-49 last year, but Im hoping the Giants defense is a lot better than that

Packers/Vikes piques my interest also

I would agree this is the best match up. Bad blood from last year, divisional opponent so the game matters more, and both were playoff teams last year fighting to take an early lead for the division. Really looking forward to this one. Will tell us a lot about both teams.

Bengals vs. Steelers. If Bridgewater weren't hurt, it would be Pack vs. Vikings, but he is so it ain't.

Texans are going to be like a swarm of wasps after you mess up their nest. They're going to be fired up I'd think this week. Definitely don't want to get smacked around by the same exact team at home 3 times in the span of a calender year.

Giants and Saints should be good. Will be hard to live up to 52-49 from last year though.

I also think Miami @ NE is going to be a tight game.

A lot of talk is going to be about the Texans new weapons matching up with KC but Kelce's 2 best games last year were against the Texans. Texans might also be bringing one the best pass rushes in the NFL. Something is going to give there and swing the game.

I'm honestly having trouble picking the winner of that game. With it being in Houston I lean a bit that way but man Houston has just been terrible against the Chiefs. Sometimes a team just has your number. it is why I don't feel good about the Broncos chances this weekend as the Colts always seem to do well against the Broncos even when they are struggling.

I was not impressed with either team until the 4th quarter in KC. I don't think the Texans offense looked that great.

Texans played the Bears very evenly last week except for one exception: Texans got tons of pressure on the Bears QB. Basically have to approach the Texans D like it was the Rams. Run the ball, attack the ILBs, screen passes.

That said, Texans offense has a bunch of new dynamics. New QB, new WR, running game, etc. Could pose some issues.

IIRC Texans were awful at special teams last year. Might be an advantage the Chiefs could take advantage of again. I dont think the Chiefs/Texans game is going to be a walk in the park at all for KC, though. Texans are going to really want this.

[bksballer89]

I just remembered that since the Jets are playing on TNF, it is very possible that I may get the Bengals/Steelers on the local CBS here in NYC

some of us have to work you know


good job btw


with the options shown, I am going with the Chiefs @ Texans - good barometer for both teams

Other my vote would be for the Jets @ Bills

Bengals @ Steelers

Thanks to the Bengals actually being good (during the regular season at least) over the past few years, this game actually means something. It doesn't hurt that these teams legitimately despise one another.

No Bell, and No Burfict....

I predict at least one season ending injury to occur in this game.

 

[Dude]

Checked the schedule for this week. Actually all games look like good match-ups, great slate of games coming up especially after last week's results, for many reasons. This season is looking very fun and competitive ... Yeah I got all that from week one games

 

[Broncos6482]

Bengals at Steelers for best matchup.

Most intriguing to me (outside of the Broncos, naturally), is Chiefs at Texans. Nice comeback by the Chiefs, but man, they were dead in the water until Allen was injured. That defense does not look good at all. I want to see how they do against Houston. As for Houston, they have to be dying to beat the Chiefs at this point.
